We have crossed the Rubicon!

Yesterday was the 8th May, D-Day! That's decision day so far as the Sinn Féin Ard Chomhairle are concerned.

I wrote a blog about Policing and Justice just before the Ard Fheis and explained that my Cumann had decided to send the following motion to the Ard Fheis.

"This Ard Fheis mandates the Ard Chomhairle to set out, in public, the party’s position in relation to our involvement in the current policing structures should the British Government fail to devolve policing and justice powers by the 8th May 2008."

We sent the motion and it was overwhelmingly passed by the delegates at the Ard Fheis!

Now I bring this up because the 8th of May has come to pass and I have yet to see a public statement on this matter from Sinn Féin.

I'm sure that Republican's and others are waiting for a response from the Ard Chomhairle, an Ard Chomharle that has been mandated to do so by the supreme governing body of Sinn Féin.

Let's hope we get an answer soon; the motion hasn't gone away you know!
